"Obviously, the new ones are a lot more modern" - Tom Lamb 2024

Tom Lamb, he’s a classic farmer!! Seen many of these but never one actually running, thank you. Much calmer and smoother than I thought it would actually be. Amazing what a few blokes with pipes and flat caps could do before computers and electronics!!!!

When I was younger I worked with a 50s Massey Harris Fergerson. No cab or radio just a 10ltr Jerry Can for drinking water. Miss those days. Thanks Tom....

What a lovely sounding engine for the age of it Tom. I can imagine sitting there for 12 hours your back would be sore and then you would have to do it all over again the next day. Thanks for the video Tom as it’s interesting to see old machines still working.

Great video Tom very interesting and informative the old combine is doing a fantastic job for it's age 👍
-
That is an awesome bit of kit. Great to see more of the inner workings! Top vid!

The old dear is still putting out a decent clean sample.

My first memories of Harvest were late 60's. Farm had two trailed Massy combines and wheat was grown by our house after all the Derby Apple trees were grubbed. Inevitably there was a fire on one combine. As a kid got really exited having 3 Fire engines by our place. I have now grown up.

Beautiful old machine, that engine sounds really sweet too. Amazing that something so slow can be so dangerous.

I guess this is what came after the threshing machine that I was used to in the ‘40s. Great times threshing with all the hands coming from farms around to help out, then we would move to the next farm when the thresher got set up so we could help them.

I was cringing at him putting that spout out with his foot near that belt 😯

My father was a farmer in the 60's - 70's and used to use an open cabbed combine, not sure what make it was, for some reason I am thinking Class, but could be wrong. I remember he used to resemble a coal miner getting off the thing. His main tractor was a Ford 4000, and a Massey 65 was the secondary, good memories mostly I guess. I used to stack the straw after balling, riding on the back of the sledge, wait till the gate popped and then jump off and stack the 8 bales, then run to catch up.

Lovely bit of machinery Tom. 👍
